Jason Richardson and Jameer Nelson scored 17 apiece to help sixth-seeded Orlando, playing without star center Dwight Howard, surprise the third-seeded Pacers 81-77 in Game 1 of the first-round Eastern Conference playoff series on Saturday night.

Howard, the Magic's leading scorer and the league's top rebounder, will miss the rest of the season after having back surgery. The Magic overcame a seven-point deficit by holding the Pacers scoreless for the final 4:05.

"We're all we got," said Davis, who scored 16 with 13 rebounds. "… When we believe, there's unlimited things that we can do."

Orlando hit nine 3-pointers, led by Richardson's five.

"With Dwight being out, the 3-point line is what we had to take care of, and we didn't," Pacers guard Paul George said.

MIAMI — LeBron James scored 32 after shooting 10-for-14 from the field, and the Heat rode the strength of what became a 32-2 run to easily beat the Knicks 100-67 in their East quarterfinal.

Dwyane Wade added 19 points in his first game back after dislocating his left index finger.

"Our guys had a noticeable look in their eyes the last 24 hours," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We wanted to get back to the basics and play to our identity."

No, this wasn't redemption for falling short in the NBA Finals last season, but it was a fine start.

"I've waited to get back to the postseason, prepared myself all season, throughout the offseason to get back to this point," James said after Miami turned 27 New York turnovers into a franchise playoff-record 38 points.

New York's 67 points matched a franchise playoff low.

The Knicks lost Iman Shumpert for the rest of the postseason after he tore a ligament in his knee, and Carmelo Anthony missed 12 of 15 shots and finished with just 11 points.
